The support these guys are getting is incredible.
There are shops/store/restaurants posting, "If you're traveling through "such and such" a place, stop by this store/shop/restaurant for a free meal/drink/coffee etc.

I don't know how accurate this website is, but if it is true, it shows how much power they think they have. I just wonder how far they will push until America starts to push back.

Sources within the Department of Transportation have revealed that their plan to use National Guard resources to close federally funded Interstate Route 495, circling the nation’s capital, have been approved by unknown White House officials and will be implemented on Friday morning, October 11, in order to thwart the three day Trucker slowdown announced on the Capitol Beltway starting that date, using the federal government shutdown as justification..

I've been seeing this floating around FB and twitter, and I saw this on the Trucker's FB page.

Quote:
Retraction from Paul Joseph Watson is as follows:[10/10/13 Demonstrators under the banner of Truckers Ride for the Constitution will arrive in DC tomorrow morning to snarl traffic as part of “a shot across the bow that will ripple across all branches of government.” 10,000 truckers are expected to continually circle the Beltway for three days, taking up two lanes and keeping a third clear to allow access for emergency vehicles.
The group said speculation that the National Guard would block the Beltway was inaccurate, stating, “The Virginia State Police are working closely with our organization and have assured us that no such orders to the National Guard exist.”
Guess we'll see if this is true or not come the morning.

Does the "District" of Columbia have an NG unit? If so, who is the Governor in charge? BTW, my son's NG drill this month has been cancelled due to the "slimdown". "My, my, my, said the spider to the fly."

Hmmm...

In order to prevent truckers from shutting down the beltway, the beltway will be shut down preemptively.
That'll show em.

Maybe the dims can be convinced to preemptively repeal the ACA so repubs can't do it...

So they'll close the beltway to keep the beltway from closing?

Glad you mentioned it. I was getting to comment on that.

The answer is NO....

I still would like to see a group of truckers do this...

Well, as of 07:00, no reports of traffic issues or increased presence of rigs around or on the beltway.....

Remember the Farmer shutdown during the Carter Administration? All those tractors... Only added to his woes.

I haven't heard a peep about either the MD or VA actions on trying to deter this protest. This protest, and add in the rainfall we are getting, DC will definitely be in complete and total gridlock. Add on top the Vets March. DC will be complete chaos. Good luck to those of you heading down for the march BTW. I wish I could attend, but cannot.

If "The President" orders DOT to utilize NG assets, wouldn't that be title 10 orders to active federal service?
Sounds bobo to me.
